This post offers a few more details about the Spring Thing 2023 prize I'll be offering than will be able to fit on their screen.
The prize is a music commission. I'll compose and produce something for you, or derive something from unreleased recordings I have if they're the ideal match and you like 'em, for your chosen purpose, which can be pretty much anything.
Previously the prize was chosen by the receiver (in IFComp). In the Spring Thing context, it's received randomly. In the IFComp context, I did things like make music for games people were making, or a theme track for a cable TV show.
I specialise in instrumental and electronic music, but can do or wrangle many styles and things, so long as you don't want vocals.
Here are my Restrictive Clauses!
- If you get this prize, you have to call it in within a year of claiming it. If we haven't made the music within the year, the coupon evaporates.
- For non-commercial use, the purpose can be almost anything. For commercial use, the piece can contribute to some creative project you've made or are making. I can decline if the purpose is hazardous, inscrutable or commercially murky, etc.
- Length is a limitation, but up for reasonable negotiation in context. For instance, some electronic or ambient music can be made quite long in the same time it would take to produce a shorter piece in some other kinds or genres. Composing to vision also takes more time.
Links to my music
